FOLLOW-UP
TO REFERENDUM AND APPOINTMENT OF UNIVERSITY BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Whereas:

By referendum, the
faculty of California State University, Sacramento approved (by a vote of
464 for; 134 against; 2 abstentions) a resolution expressing their lack of
confidence in President Alexander Gonzalez' leadership, interest in and
willingness to preserve the quality of the academic program of the
University; and

Whereas:

The Faculty Senate
must take immediate action to ensure adequate funding of the Academic
program in the 2007-2008 academic year and beyond and engage in full and
thoughtful continued consideration of all the issues raised in the
referendum resolution; and

Whereas:

The
referendum resolution approved by the faculty directs the Faculty Senate
to develop a list which sets forth specific actions that the President
must take with respect to the matters raised in this resolution; and be
it

Resolved:

The Faculty Senate
establishes an ad hoc Goals Committee, whose charge shall be to prepare a
draft list of remedies/particulars that address the faculty concerns
articulated in the faculty referendum, over the summer 2007, for
discussion at the Fall Senate Retreat and lead to subsequent action at
Senate meetings early in the Fall 2007 semester. In preparing this list
the committee should consider, among other things, the urgency of making
tenure-track hires, the desirability of ceasing MPP hires until a
sufficient number of tenure-track hires is made, and the desirability of
the Advancement Office becoming self-supporting. The membership of the
Committee, whose Chair shall be elected from among the members of the
Committee, shall include the Senate Chair or designee, and one faculty
representative from each of the Colleges, the Library, and Student
Services. The Senate Chair shall convene the ad hoc committee and shall
ensure communication with the Executive Committee. It shall be the
responsibility of each of the College/Library representatives to consult
with the faculty in their respective units, including soliciting input
from individual faculty members in their units.

Carried unanimously.

COMMENDATION OF
LEADERSHIP  MICHAEL FITZGERALD

Whereas:

Successful service as
Faculty Senate Chair requires an individual to marshal limitless reserves
of energy while at the same time drawing upon extensive practical
experience, wisdom, solid political instincts, and firm faculty values;
and

Whereas:

For most senate
chairs the effort required to do so proves so taxing that, once their tour
of duty is completed, they do their utmost to avoid taking up the gavel
again; and

Whereas:

By contrast the
current senate chair, having served once before and thus knowing full well
what he was getting into, selflessly agreed to serve once again when the
call came forward; and

Whereas:

This individual has,
over the past year, skillfully steered the Faculty Senate as it has dealt
with a wide range contentious issues not commonly faced by your typical
senate chair; and

Whereas:

This individual has
accomplished this aided by nothing more than his sense of humor, a plush
talking chicken, and a strong belief in the central role of faculty
consultation and shared governance in the California State University; and

Whereas:

For the 2006-2007
academic year the name of this individual has been Michael Fitzgerald;
therefore be it:

Resolved:

That the Faculty
Senate of the California State University, Sacramento gratefully
acknowledges the hard work and contributions of Michael Fitzgerald as the
Chair of the Faculty Senate during what has definitely proved to be a
lively academic year; and be it further:

Resolved:

That the Faculty
Senate wish Michael Fitzgerald well in all his future endeavors be they
academic, journalistic, or simply a case of lounging on a boat and
wasting away his days in Margaritaville.

Carried unanimously.
